4-6 Installing the Operating System
Specifying Partition Size
The minimum size of the partition that is required when installing the operating system can be
calculated from the following formula.
1000MB + Paging File Size + Dump File Size, where:
1000MB
Paging File Size (Recommended) = Installed Memory Size × 1.5
Dump file Size
IMPORTANT:
The paging file size is necessary for collecting debug information
!
(memory dump). If you set the initial value of paging file size
smaller than the 'recommended' value, you may not be able to collect
accurate debug information (memory dump).
If you want to install Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server on
!
a system with more than 4GB of memory installed, we recommend
you increase the default paging file size by 2060MB.
The dump file size for a system with more than 2GB memory
!
installed is '2048MB + 12MB'.
For example, if the installed memory size is 512MB, the minimum required partition size would
be as follows:
1000MB + (512MB × 1.5) + (512MB + 12MB) = 2292MB
NOTES:
To install the operating system using Express Setup, calculate the
minimum required partition size as follows:
If not applying a Windows 2000 Service Pack:
!
The larger of: 'Minimum Partition Size' described above, or
'2000MB'.
If applying a Windows 2000 Service Pack:
!
The larger of: 'Minimum Partition Size' described above + 850MB,
or '4095MB'.

= Installed Memory Size + 12MB
